Working the sales has a habit of disrupting everyday life. Errands regular folk probably take for granted can end up on the back burner for weeks on end; think trips to the supermarket, the school run, cooking a family dinner.
They’re all forsaken in favour of heading to Arqana, Goffs and Tattersalls on a seemingly endless loop. Well, someone’s got to do it. Another routine task I haven’t had a chance to undertake recently is my monthly visit to the barbers.

- Late top lot leaves me livin’ on a prayer during a trainwreck of a trip to Tattersalls
- Social media snubs, bold statements and a dodgy Jeremy Clarkson lookalike at the sale that simply can’t be ignored
- Clowns to the left of me, Coolmore to the right, here I am, stuck in the middle in Deauville
- Acts of charity, failed freeloading and forces of nature at the sale that’s always highly recommended
